The apex court on 22 August 2025 responded positively to the plea forwarded by Hitesh Devsarma, a former State coordinator to NRC Assam himself, for an error-free NRC. Admitting the writ petition, the SC issued notices to the centre, Assam government, NRC coordinator, and the Registrar General of India (RGI). Following a petition by Assam Public Works, the SC directed for the NRC updation and it also reportedly monitored the process. Prior to the CAG report, Hajela’s successor Devsarma raised mishandling of the NRC process to help a large number of infiltrator’s names in the list. Thus hundreds of thousands of Bangladeshi Muslim settlers’ names were included in the NRC draft.
